THE GO GO's
Live At The Rockpalast, Berlin, Germany 11-03-1882 DVD
Compilation Review:
Captured at the legendary Rockpalast stage in Berlin in 1982, this concert shows The Go-Go’s at the height of their fame—sharp, fearless, and full of wild new-wave energy. The band blasts through a 20-song set that blends punk’s edge with pop’s irresistible gloss, proving why they were one of the defining acts of the early ’80s. Belinda Carlisle’s vocals soar with playful attitude, while Jane Wiedlin’s guitar and harmonies give the performance its bright, electric pulse.
The show moves effortlessly from the punchy “Skidmarks on My Heart” and “Tonite” to the shimmering pop perfection of “Our Lips Are Sealed” and “We Got the Beat.” “Cool Jerk,” their cover of The Capitols’ hit, bursts with sass and humor, while “Vacation” and “Lust to Love” remind the crowd that the Go-Go’s could balance sweetness with grit.
Concert Highlights:
A vibrant and fast-paced performance where every song feels like a time capsule of early MTV-era magic. “Get Up and Go” and “We Got the Beat” turn the stage into a party, while “This Town” and “Automatic” display the band’s tight musicianship. The chemistry between members is effortless, and their joy in playing is contagious.
